Change master page

I'm using indesign CS3 with javascript.
I have a document with 11 chapters, every chapter has the same Master-page.
Every chapter has 1,2, ..pages, the master page for the content in the chapter is not the same as the chapter Master-page.
Every content from a chapter has a different master page, than the content from an other chapter.
this means that i have 12 master-pages
example:
Chapter 1:           master-page A
     content1:       master-pageB
Chapter2:           master-page A
     content2:       master-page C
Every title from the chapter and content will be placed into a running header with a specifiek paragraph style.
At the moment i have a little javascript, this script checks on every page for the paragraph style from a chapter.
and the "master-page A" will bee placed on the right page.
how can i extend my script for the content master-pages?
Is it possible that i can retrieve the text from the running header from the chapters?
greetz,
kim

You can update the master page programmatically based on the variables you have
SPSite site new SPSite("http://Foo");
SPWeb web=site.OpenWeb();
rootWeb.CustomMasterUrl = rootWeb.ServerRelativeUrl + "/_catalogs/masterpage/blueband.master";
rootWeb.update();

Change Master Page based on Text Content

Hello,
I have found a few examples relating to changing Master pages based on Style.
However, I would like to change all Pages that flag "True" with the query of the "2-1134" to to "Master-C" for example.
I have 12 master Pages with different strings that I don't mind editing the script to make work.
The document is close to 1,000 pages.
I am having trouble merging so many different scripts into something that will work.
Platform: Indesign CS4 6.0.5 - OS X (Intel)
Thank you so much for your input, help and guidence.

This is what layers are for. Open the Layers panel and make at least one more layer. Put the graphic on the lower layer and the footer on the upper layer.

Change Master page of a site using ECMA Script in sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I'm working on SharePoint 2010.
I have a requirement where in I need to create a site and apply a particular master page to the newly created site using
ECMA Script.
The site gets created but while applying the master page it gives me an error stating the method 'set_masterUrl' is not defined.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
function createSite() {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
var oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
Please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

The issue is coming because the scope of context and oNewWebsite is not available in your success method. Try to modify the code as below and see if that helps.
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
var context = null;
var oNewWebsite = null;
function createSite() {
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
The other way is to use this.context and this.oNewWebsite. To see how you can modify your code have a look at the following link.

Change master pages on a button?

Hi guys, I want to know how to be able to keep the same page, but press a button which changes the master.
The goal is to have a menu bar (as a header) that changes to an expanded menu (a different master) Is that possible?

           Hi DEV ,
           Well , it's little tricky but pretty much doable , on click of a button ( DAY CLOSURE as per your requirement ) do the following
         1) get the current date (sysdate ) and save it in a custom table .
          2 ) save the above sysdate in a formvalue ( itemstyle )
          3) Next time when the page renders , again get the sysdate and value which is being saved in the formvalue
          4 ) compare the two values , if those two dates are equal then hide webbeans programatically in processRequest of your controller
                and display a message to the user highlighting page can't display any information for today .
          5) Hiding webbean will actually appears page to be inaccessible .
        Note : It's very difficult to make the page inaccessible , the above given solution would pretty much meet your requirement .
             Let me know if you need any further input .
             Regards ,

Pages don't reflect changes in their master page

I'm using InDesign CS5.5 (v. 7.5.3) with Mac OSX 10.8.4. I found one old question about this problem in another forum (with no submitted answer):
Assume you have a simple document with one master which simply features a text frame. Well, now if you add some inset spacing to the text frame on the master, this is immediately reflected on the pages to which the master had been applied. However, if you edit the master again and set the inset spacing back to zero, the text frames on the pages to which the master had already been applied keep the inset spacing. If one adds new pages, the text frames have no inset spacing, as I would expect. Can someone tell me why InDesign behaves this way... i.e., why are the changes to the master not reflected on the assigned pages when I set the inset spacing back to zero.
This question was asked re CS 2.0. The problem seems to remain in CS 5.5.

I made the changes to the frame inset in the master pages. This is a normal setting for frames, and not complex--and in any case, the point was that I had mistakenly set an inset value, but wanted to reset it to zero, so really nothing to create as an object style. So I reset the value to zero in the master pages. No update. I tried reapplying the changed master page to the doc pages. No update.
You note: "And if you reset the text frame in the Master it won't reflect in the pages."
Is this a known feature/bug? Why shouldn't inset values be part of master text frames and thus updated with them? It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Thanks for the suggestion about object styles, though. I don't think it applies here, but I can see the usefulness elsewhere, and I've never really looked at them.

Change site master page not working in team site

For an intranet site I have a heavily customized master page but want to retain the default v4 master for admin pages. I haven't activated publishing for the site but can access changesitemasterpage.aspx and set the site and system master page.
Action:
Set site master to custom, set system master to v4
Expected result:
Exactly what the description says:
"The system master page will be used by administrative pages, lists, and document library views on this site."
Actual result:
ALL pages use the v4 master.
The only way to get the custom master to work is to change the system master setting to "custom". But then the styling interferes with the functionality of the admin pages. Is this another case of SP not doing what it says it's going to do,
or is it broken?

Hi ,
For your issue, there are two approaches you can refer to:
1.Activate publishing feature, set custom master page for “Site Master Page”. The site master page will be used by all publishing pages - the pages that visitors to your website will see.
2.Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS, you can find all the application pages in the folder (such as settings.aspx) . Open the aspx page
and find the dynamicMasterPage attribute at the page tag, change the value to default.master instead of custom.master. (not recommend)

Repeating Table in Master Pages

Hi =)
I'm having some trouble with a dynamic xml form I'm creating.
Inside a page I have a repeating table that allows the user to insert a new row (max 4 rows).
All I want is this page to adjust nicely to the size of the repeating table.
Since I've read that it is not possible to change master page size through javaScript, I've created a page set with different sized master pages that adjust to the different number of rows.
I tried to set some conditional breaks to change from master page to master page accordingly to the table size. The thing is, whenever the user adds a row, the two master pages will appear. The first one blank and the next one with the table.
I think I only need a way to make the previous master page disappear.
Can someone give me some advise?
I need help.
Thank you =)

Hi =)
I'm trying something different: I want to make the blank pages disappear by changing the position of the Pages in the Page Set.
Suppose the table only has 2 rows.
The script on the click event of the button "add row" is the following:
     //Adds an instance to the row
     form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.addInstance(true);
     //Counts the number of instances
     var n = form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count;
     //If number of instances = 2 then the Pages position is changed
     if (n == 2){
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest";
          xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
I also have a conditional break in the Table1 like this:
     "When"
          form1.page1a.Table1.Row1.instanceManager.count == 2
     "Break"
          before
     "to"
          Page2
This forces the entire table to change to the Page2 once it has 2rows.
The only thing that ruins this brilliant idea (cof cof =P) is...well, are this commands:
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page1.pagePosition = "rest"
     xfa.form.form1.page1a.pageSet.Page2.pagePosition = "first";
They don't work! Why? Does anyone know?
Thanks =)

Can't change the master page after upgrading to SharePoint 2013.

After upgrading our farm to SharePoint 2013 we are having trouble changing the master page for sites that don't have sub-sites. We are still using the v4 UI version, and that appears to be what is causing the problem. The error we get when going to /_layouts/ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx
is:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Internal.CodeBehind.AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
I took a peek at the source code for AreaChromeSettingsPage.OnLoad and found that it references a CheckBox control that does not exist in the v4 ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
base.OnLoad(e);
this.EnsureChildControls();
if (!this.Page.IsPostBack)
this.LoadValues();
if (base.Web.Webs.Count == 0)
this.resetSystemMasterPageSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetAlternateCssSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
this.resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox.Visible = false;
base.ConfigureCancelButton(this.BtnCancel);
If I manually add a checkbox control with the ID "resetThemeSubSitesCheckBox" to a hidden panel in the v4 copy of ChangeSiteMasterPage.aspx the page works, but obviously this is not a best practice. How can we fix this without upgrading the UI version, which
we are not yet ready to do?

Thanks Mike - Could you please share what is your next step then? I also have custom master pages and layout but I am going to make new master page and layout in 2013 as we need to change the existing branding too. so, i upgrade the site collection. I understand
the Look and Feel will not persist after the upgrade but I am concern that at least the page should show the content on the page after the upgrade. The page had Calendar webppart on it but after the upgrade it is coming blank.
any suggestion?

Khushi

Changing font/-size of a text field on master-pages not possible? (field prop)

Hi,
I would like to change the font and font-size of a textfield on a master page.
I wonder if I do anything wrong, because the font-options (size, font etc.) are simple greyed out / not avaliable, when I click on my text field.
It seems, there is any way to customize the font-properties of a textfield (only) on master-page.
Well I guess it would work with java script in init-event ... but really, why the hell it should not be possible simply to use the properties/text properties?!
Please correct me if I am wrong. Do I do anything wrong or is it really not possible to customize font of a text field on master pages?

Hi,
I was just about to post, that I figured it out.
Actually, I use Livecycle Designer in SAP (transaction SFP). There seems to be a bug (one of hundrets by the way).
If I click on a field, that does not have text-property e.g. subform, text-option menu greys out.
Afterwards it stay this way until I click/doubleclick into a simple text (not text field). From that moment on, text/font-option menu is available again, until I click on something without text. => So pay attention and click wisely
coming soon: "SAP meets Livecycle Designer - a (Bug)Lovestory", hardcover 124 Pages. ; )
by the way: SAP does not sopport interactive forms higher than Reader 8.1. Its statement "8.1 is fine enough for everything you need in a SAP/Adobe Interactive Form". So beware of using XFA higher than in 8.1. sad, but true ...

Master page: header changes are not reflected in existing topics

A few months ago this forum helped me to troubleshoot and fix problems with the Show More | Show Less command that I inherited from a previous writer. I chose to use the Single Button approach and used this code, on the Master Page, for "onclick":
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2"></script><?rh-script_end ?>
<?rh-region_start type="header" style="width: 100%; position: relative;" ?>
<table style="height: 10px;" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<col width="186" />
<col width="481" />
<col width="97" />
<tr>
   <td><h2><img src="NGP_Logo_small.png" alt="" style="border: none;"
       border="0" /></h2></td>
   <td><h2 style="text-align: right; margin-right: 20px;">Help</h2></td>
   <td><h2><img src="btnshowall.gif" onclick="ShowAll(this)" alt=""
       style="border: none;" border="0" /></h2></td>
This worked fine until recently when I changed the logo in the left cell of the header table. Today I discovered that the img src = line had gone away. And so I re-entered it, and it works fine on new topics, and on some, but NOT all topics.
Here's what happens on an older topic:
Preview the topic.
Click Show All button. A Script Error message appears: "The value fo the property 'ShowAll' is null or undefined, not a Function object. Code = 0. file = ...../Help/Administration/rlt1F1.htm.
Here's the HTML code for this topic, which is missing the code btnshowall code.
<body>
<?rh-script_start ?><script src="../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript"

<?rh-placeholder type="header" ?>
<table cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<td style="vertical-align: bottom;"><p style="text-align: right;
             margin-bottom: 6pt; line-height: Normal;"> </p></td>
</tr>
</table>
I tried setting the Master Page to None and then re-setting it to Main. That does not help.
The only workaround I've found so far is to create a new topic, copy the content from the old topic, delete the old topic, and rename the new topic using the old topic's name. But that is very tedious.
Any thoughts on how to fix the problem without recreating every topic?
Thank you.

Master Pages don't transfer when I change page size in a book

I had exactly the same problem in CS4, which is why I switched to CS5.5 -- but apparently nothing has changed.
I have a book of about 30 chapters. It was originally set up in 6x9 format, but after it was all formatted, my client decided he wanted the pages 5x8.
It should be easy, right? Just change the layout for the master pages of the Style Source document, fix the text sizing, etc. Then in each ensuing chapter, just download the new masters from the style source document. When I get a warning asking me if the master pages in the target document should be overwritten, I say yes and it does its thing.
Only it doesn't work. Oh, the text in the masters is all over the place, which is to be expected -- but the master pages and the book pages are still 6x9, not 5x8.
I tried synchronizing the book, being careful that Master Pages is checked in the options. I got a warning that some of the text would need to be fixed. No problem. Except that the pages in all the documents except the Style Source are still 6x9!!
I have a feeling I've wasted my money on the upgrade. A lot of bells and whistles have been added, but the CS4 problems aren't solved.
Please, can somebody help? I do this for a living, and I'm wasting waaaaaay too much time trying to clean up messes like these.

No, Peter, I never solved it. But thank you for asking!
I finally started a whole new book, with the smaller master pages. I saved a few blank pages for each chapter file, then I copied and pasted the text of each chapter onto the new pages. Fortunately I was able to transfer paragraph and character styles to the new document, and the formatting of the copied text transferred also.
But it was still a lot of work.
I don't even want to think about trying to design a document with different size pages!

Custom Master Page changes wont apply to few page layouts

Dear All
I'm having issue applying custom branding to SharePoint 2010 sites.. Branding works overall fine but it doesn't apply to few pages.
For example if I click on Enterprise and Metadata Keyword Settings in Document library the changes are not applied. I notice it's a page called metadatacolsettings.aspx in layouts and I see it references application.master.. Similarly I see couple
of other pages out of sync and all of them have application.master as Master Page..
Any ideas why this could be happening.. Please let me know
Thanks

Hi,
pls check below links
There are a few things to consider.
Have all page layouts / master pages been checked in and published / approved?
Have you created a new page using the custom page layout?
Are you creating or modifying this content?
Keep in mind, the progression of rendering goes as follows:
masterpages determine the ASP.NET structural layout.
Page Layouts determine the SharePoint structural layout based on the masterpage ASP.NET structural layout.
Your .aspx pages determine what content to display based on the Page Layout SharePoint structural layout.

How to change the master page and theme dynamically in sharepoint2013 anonymous site

hi
I have to change the master page and theme dynamically in sharepoint2013 anonymous site. i have to show one master page to authenticated user another master page to anonymous user through code
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the master page and theme dynamically based on the anonymous users or authenticated users.
Per my knowledge, there is not an OOB way to change the master page and theme dynamically.
SharePoint is based on Asp.net, as we know Asp.Net request processing is based on pipeline model, so we can delevlop a custom HttpModule to dynamic change the master page based on current logon user profile(using SP Object Model to get).
Another solution could be to use the SecurityTrimmed control that injects the CSS depending on global user permissions, more information, please refer to
it.

Changing number of columns on master page, does not affect pages?

I create a master page. say three columns per spread.
I go to actual pages, flow my type in with the loaded cursor and holding the shift key... it works like a charm... text flows in the three colums, adding pages until the end of the manuscript...
Now I decide I don't like the three columns. I go to the master page and change to 4 columns via "margins and columns..." under LAYOUT menu
I go to the pages assuming that any change in a masterpage will translate to the pages... NOT!
If I go to to my first page, the type is still in three colums...
All other changes I make on the masterpage do translate to the pages... like say a color bar at the top, the size and font of the folios... BUT NOT if I change the number of columns???
Can anyone shed light on this?

You MUST tick the Option for "Master Text Frame" when Creating a new document.
OR you MUST include a Text Frame with the number of Columns on the master page.
Copy the text to the clip board
Delete all page except page 1
remove the existing text frame.
Drag the Master A to the page 1
CTRL or CMD (MAC) click shift the text frame to break it from the master.
Now paste your text in here
Insert a new page
And click the Overload (red cross) button and connect it to the page 2 hodling down shift.
From memory - hope I got it right !
